C++/CLI manage object with GC(Garbage Collection).I think,it's not good for traditional C++.It's available .NET's developer.C++/CLI code cannot port to other operation system.Next time C++/CLI develop limit in M$ Operation system.I wait issue time C++0x next standard for C++.I unlike GC for C++.Why?.It's good for write a code by don't' care pointer(C++/CLI using handle syntax for reference object) and manage memory by delete keyword.GC use high resource for work load.I not sure GC in C++ available for Large System!.
